Nesting

February 20, 2010

I’m feeling it…the urge to get stuff done and ready for baby. We decided to have our boys share a room, and even though I still have a few more things to do (like paint Ben’s bed white…and make valances) I’m feeling like its ready for baby.

The quilt hanging over the baby’s crib (can you guess his name?) is this one. The quilt on Ben’s bed I made way back here, and its finally out of its storage box and happily on a bed. The big letters came from Joann’s and were spray painted with more Kilz red spray paint from Walmart.

(don’t worry…we took the garland down above the crib once it was in use!)

Wonderful! Fun and understated, I love it. We put up a similar looking garland (but made of felt) for our daughter's birthday and I was tempted to leave it up because it was just so happy and cheery (especially during winter).

I really love it! Totally the look I'm planning on going for in my little boy's room when we move this summer. I even posted on my blog a few days ago about using one of your quilts for inspiration while I plan out a quilt for my son.

We're going to most likely be renting, which means lots of white walls, so I was trying to come up with ways to make his room colorful, and I think I'm totally going to steal your dot garland idea!!

My sons name is Ray and while you don't hear it much anymore I'll still guess that. The rooms look great. Love the fishing line/scrapbook paper idea. I can see making little shapes too for example Ray is obsessed with elephants right now… hmm…

Ooh, I LOVE that room. Everything about is so fun and modern, perfect for a boys room. You lucked out on the paint colors, they're so cool and the bright colors look really great against it. The garlands are such a whimsical touch too. Great job!

I love this look. I especially like the 2 quilts which I am book marking down – so many of the quilts I see are for girls and I'm not very good at thinking up colour ideas yet so these are great. As for the name my guess is Rick

this is perfection. I have been searching for a quilt design for my son;s room and I have found it. thanks you so much for the tutorial! I can;t wait to make when we pull my son;s room together in a few months. Absolutely amazing!

Adorable! I'm going with my son's friend name – Rawlyn (I misspelled it once as Rawlin on his dog tags -oops!) but think it's a great name. My first thought was Riley though. Great job and I have always loved those quilts!

The boys room is adorable and you know what- I'd leave the bed the wood color. I think it looks really nice how it is and is a good contrast to the other white in the room. The little red rocker is adorable!

That room looks AMAZING! Makes me want to get pregnant again even more than usual, just so I can have two of my children in one such lovely room (not that I'll ever get round to making it as fab as you have, but a girl can dream!)

I love the room. I also have a Ben. i think the R might be Ryan? I have a friend who has a son named Rylan. I like it, unique but not crazy. I love your blog and have started my own. It is very new and I have a whole new respect for bloggers- it is not that easy. Thanks for your inspiration and tutorials.

Oh my word fabulous. Really. Truly. I am in love. I already LOVE these quilts. Love them. I apsolutly adore the little circles hanging thing. Love it. And those huge letters. Really, do you even know how fabulous you are? you are. I am in love with it all.

B is for Beautiful, R is for Ridiculously-cute! What lucky boys. You are the reason I am going to start a quilt this year. I'll let you know how it goes :) Hope you don't mind but we have shared with our readers – something about garlands that screams happy and reminded us of the fun of an old-fashioned pyjama party. Wishing your boys sweet dreams, peaceful sleep – and the occasional pillow fight!
